Bluestockings.

Saw this: http://arts.guardian.co.uk/art/visualart/story/0,,2263402,00.html?gusrc=rss&feed=40 about a National Portrait Gallery exhibition.

Why didn't men appreciate clever women? Was it because most men were a bit dim and couldn't stand the challenge? Hmmm.

The one thing I can say about every chap I've befriended on LJ is that they do appreciate clever women. Perhaps now in the 21st Century men will finally realise that they're better off with an equal in their life, than a dependent.

Lately, I've tried spending time on Facebook, but I find I prefer the ways of doing things here rather more. There appear to be lots of nice people on Facebook: whereas LJ appears to be full of folk who write, which attracts me more, I think.

When next in Town at TPA I shall take some time off for lunch and I will go to the National_Portrait_Gallery  and wander around looking at pictures of intellectual heroines from history, perhaps even in the hope of bumping into a modern day version thereof. But I shan't be too disappointed should I fail.
When I get back from Cannes....

The lady I'm dating is clever :)
(she's definitely equal too!)

Sounds like a good outing. I do hope you meet someone who fits that bill, either now or at some point before the May-bells ring :)
